Water Birth!!
Hi everyone,
Just wondering if any of you have thought about a water birth? Im really warming to this idea as I've heard it takes quite a bit of the pain away & it sounds more comfortable & relaxing than just lying on a bed..this is my first pregnancy and i'm 18+4 today so still got a while to go yet but was just wondering if any of you have had one of these before or are considering this option yourselves?
Thanks girls x x

Sounds great but I don't think having the baby at home is for me....
hope delivery goes well - takes a while to fill it I think?! xx

You need to remember though that you won't be able to have an epidural or pethadine if you have a water birth - an epidural will mean being immobile and pethadine has the potential to make you sleepy, so they won't allow you anywhere near water.
Haha, I'm talking like I know what I'm on about! (this is my first time too).
